A temple shrine with a seated deity murti of Shiva and Parvati-like figures decorated with garlands and colourful silk garments; a seated figure with trident and red garlands dominates, flanked by standing attendant statues in purple, green and black garments with garlands. Brass oil lamps stand in front of a golden arch and red curtain, with a jewelled sculpted pedestal below. These are statues, not living people, and no person is visible in the scene.

A shrine with a central seated deity murti of a four-armed figure in a red-and-gold crown and orange garments, paired with a female consort figure in a gold crown, both draped in yellow and red marigold garlands. A carved gold arch frames them, with a green curtain behind. Two standing attendant statues flank the shrine: one on the left in white headwear, red shawl and rudraksha-style beads, and one on the right in a dark red robe and yellow garland. Silver lamps and kalasha-style brass stands sit on the floor, with a large beaded necklace offering in front and a white cloth draped over the altar. These are statues, not living people.

Two large deity murtis are seated together on a red-draped platform: the central figure wears an orange-red head cloth, a silver ornamented necklace, white and red garments and holds a trident-like staff, while the figure beside it has a dark crown and yellow-and-white dress with a red-and-yellow garland. A decorated shivalingam stands in front, draped with yellow and red flower garlands and sitting on a purple cloth. Flanking the shrine are two standing guardian statues in red dhotis, one with a red cap and crescent, both with flower garlands and raised hands, beside brass oil lamps. Stone carvings frame the scene. The image is a statue-only scene with no living people.
